Mosque at Ground Zero


I came across the following this morning. I can't fault the logic of it!

"I am perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque
being built near Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every
American to be tolerant. The mosque should be allowed, in an effort
to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two gay nightclubs be opened
next door to the mosque thereby promoting tolerance within the
mosque. We could call the clubs "The Turban Cowboy" and "You Mecca Me
So Hot".

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork
and have an open barbecue with spare ribs as its daily special.

Across the street a very daring lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps
Nothing Secret" with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the
goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop, there would be room for an
Adult Toy Shop (Koranal Knowledge?), its name in flashing neon lights,
and on the other side a liquor store, maybe call it "Morehammered"?"

Might be tasteless and not very PC, but makes the valid point that tolerance is a two way process!

yeah the mayor of new york was basically told to shut up and obama pushed the mosque through after objections by the people were ignored.Obama is a muslim so its no real shock he would push for it and support it.He may have changed his faith for political advancement but hes still muslim at heart.The mosque isnt been built on teh actual grounds of teh twin towers but near enough to cause offence

So what proof have you got that Obama is a muslim?

Cordoba House, the' Ground Zero Mosque', is a proposed Islamic cultural centre, which, in addition to a prayer room, will include a basketball court, restaurant, and swimming pool. Its aim is to improve inter-faith relations.

Incidentally the planned site is two blocks from where the Twin Towers used to be.

Here's a list of innocent victims of the terorrist attacks on New York...who happen to have been Muslim.

Muslim Victims of 9/11 - Muslim Victims of the 9/11 Terrorist Attack

As for religious tolerance, you could easily substitute the word mosque for a Baptist church in Hicksville, or the Vatican City. A place where there are similarly no gay nightclubs, or lingerie shops. Which sadly means many of the stocking and sussie wearing priests have to travel elsewhere, if they want to dance with each other to a high-energy beat.

he openly admits he was a muslim and i find it hard to believe he abondoned his faith for any other reason than that he would never get elected as president as a muslim.Just because he switched to christianity dosnt mean his heart is in it .People switch faiths all the time to get what they want wether it be switching to catholism to get married in a church they want or switching faith to gain votes they wouldnt otherwise get.

no way would the mosque have been allowed so near to the site of 9/11 if bush or any previous president was in charge and if obama spitting in the faces of the families of those that died that day dosnt show hes still in favour of islam over common decency then i dont know what is

feel free to read up on the situation regarding the mosque and obamas involvement in pushing it through iv already done the work in a previous thread last year if its still there

[garinda]

Obama wrote in his two books, "Dreams From My Father" and "The Audacity of Hope," that he spent two years in a Muslim school and another two years in a Catholic school while living in Indonesia from age 6 to 10.

I don't really care what his religion is but to settle the dispute


He is a puppet whichever way he kneels

To deny being a Muslim and/or changing religion is Apostasy and the mandatory sentence for that is death and every Muslim is required to attempt to comply with that edict. Pretty certain that is stated in the Koran

[accyman]

If it is thought that a culture center is a good idea to increase understanding of different faiths then so be it but to place an islamic center so close to the site of 9/11 is just beyond belief and in bad taste.If i was unfortunate to have lost somone on that day in those towers i wouldnt want to hear islamic calls for prayer blasting out while i remembered my loved one and that is also one of the main reasons people who have lost family there protested against the building of the mosque/culture center as well as the obvious bad taste.

How's that going to work ? The kick off is bad enough over separate sessions for swimming Muslim only/Men/Women, then throw in the Blacks & the Whites, Jews & other Kuffar, see that's going to be a right barrel of laughs isn't it ? As to the Basketball, so much uncovered sweaty flesh running round the Basketball court & half way through a game you've got to stop while they get out their mats & pray to Mecca ! No, don't see it getting much mileage somehow.

Just as all Christians don't follow the ten commandments, with one of the tenents being that adultery is a mortal sin, even if it's just a thought, similarly not all Muslims are fundamentalists.

I believe Muhammad Ali bared quite a lot of flesh, and got quite sweaty when playing sport...at the same time as being a devout Muslim.

This centre is two blocks away from Ground Zero. A good five minutes walk.

People of many, and no faith were killed by terrorists that day, who were using a religion as a cover for acts of wickedness.

To demonise a whole religion, because of a few evil zealots, and get all hysterical because an Islamic centre is planned to be built half a mile away from where a terrible act of terorrism was carried out, is stupid.

I'm the first one in the queue, when it comes to fighting religious tolerance.

Sadly this applies to many of our world's religions...not just one.

You seem to be under the illusion that Muslims, of all sects, live similar lives.

They don't.

Just as all Christians don't picket the funerals of solidiers killed in war zones, carrying placards stating God Hates Fags.

Go to a secular country like Turkey, which has a Muslim majority population. You'll see many Muslim women and men bathing together on that country's beaches, some even wearing bikinis.

Granted, but it'll only take one malcontent, doesn't matter which side they're from & the niggles will start & folk will polarise along typically divisive lines. It's just inherent in human nature, even the most sainted of us have a point at which we will react to a perceived sleight, snide comment or slur.

Er...yeah, and it only takes one loony, inspired by their religion, to bomb American clinics, where they carry out terminations.

Terrorists use any excuse to do what they do.

Though religion is a common choice.

You only have to look at Ireland for an example.
